  A Joke

Our first day at a resort, my wife and I decided to hit the beach. When I went back to get something to drink, one of the hotel maids was making our bed. I grabbed my cooler and was on my way back out when I stopped at the door and asked.

“Can we drink beer on the beach?”

“Sure”, she said, “but I have to finish the rest of the rooms first.”

 E-MAIL ERROR  

One day at work my guy and I started sending flirty e-mails to each other. In my last message, I mentioned what I was going to wear for him that night. Unfortunately, I tried to spice things up with the wrong person: I accidentally hit “reply” on my last e-mail – which was from my boss! She found my dirty message so amusing that she shared it with the entire office.
